Mourning To be Observed.
WASHINGTON, October 24.-The fol-
lowing order has been issued by the
Department of State:
BY direction of the President the
undersigned is charged with the duty
of announcing the death on the 22d
instant, at 4 O'Clock P. NJ, at his resi-
dence, Chicago, ILL.,, of Elihu B. Wash
burn, an illustrious citizen, formerly
Secretary of State OF the United States.
Mr.. Washburn rendered great service
to the people of the United States in
many important capacities. AS rep
resentative from the State of Hill
nois in the National Legislature
and subsequently as Envoy Extraor-
dinary and Minister Plenipotenti-
ary of the United States to France,
his career was marked by eminent
usefulness. His abilities of a high
order were applied with unsparing de-
votion and fidelity in the performance
of his trusts of public office. His pri-
vate life was unstained; his public
service unquestionably great, and his
memory will be cherished with affec-
ton and respect by his grateful
countrymen. On the day of his fun
eral this department will be closed
for all public business and will be
draped in mourning for ten days
thereafter. The diplomatic and con-
sular officers of the United States in
foreign countries will be directed to
make a proper expression of public
sorrow experienced by the death OF
Mr.. Washburn.
(Signed) II. +. BAYARD.

That Clubbing Exercise.

Fred Smith, one of the policemen
who was alluded to yesterday as hav-
ing brutally beaten drunk they were
taking to jail, says that he was the
one who performed the club exercise
on the occasion. The drunk was &
very obstreperous one, who had beer
fighting in an Aliso-street saloon wher
he was arrested. He came along very
trippingly until they reached Temple
Block, when he refused to go further
and threw himself doggedly on the
sidewalk. Mr.. smith claims that he
only hit the man on the soles of his
boots to make him get up, and denies
that he struck him with his fist or club
in the body or face. Of this latter the
gentlemen who gave us the informa-
ton, as eye witnesses, were very posi-
tive; but we give Mr.. Smith the pene-
fit of his version of the affair.

RAILROAD RATES.
Tariff Charged by the Californta
Central Company.

Central Company.
SAN Francisco, October 24.-H. B..
Wilkins, General Passenger Agent OF
the California Central and Southern
lines. has sent a letter to Secretary
Parker of the Railroad Commissioners
indorsing copies of the recently issued
passenger tariff. Mr.. Wilkins says :
"As we have been adding to our
lines so fast and expect to make fur
ther additions, it has been our
excuse for not getting up one
tariff to cover the entire system;
The rates between San Diego and
Barstow on the California Southern
Railroad, are made on the basis OF 8
cents per mile, and 6 cents per mile
from San Bernardino to Barstow. The
California Central's tariff between
San Bernardino and Los Angeles is
made OH the basis Of 3 cents. In
some cases, for instance, between San
Bernardino and Los Angeles this rate
is trifle less than cents per mile,
but this is done to meet the Southern
Pacific rate from Cotton to Los Ange-
les, and I might add, in connection
with this, that we make the sane rate
from Cotton to Los Angeles - the
Southern Pacific Company does. Our
rate between Los Angeles, Port Bal
Iona and intermediate stations is made
on the basis Of cents per mile, eX-
cepting from Los Angeles to Port Bal
Iona, where charge OF 30 cents IS
made to meet the Southern Pacific
rate to Santa Monica. The rates be-
tween Citrus and Santa Ana, on the
California Central, are made on the
basis OF 5 cents per mile.

warehouses. The telephone Office is
about to be removed into the old bank
building, which is part of the Plan

very pretty house, large and of ele-

foundation OF the new hotel is being
built as fast as the men can
lay up the bricks, and work

Orders have been received to engage
all the teams and men obtainable to
go to work at once on the new railroad
from Anaheim to Los Angeles. The
business is to be finished and the cars
rnnning by the end of the year. To-
day will be great day in Anaheim.
The Theodore Reiser place is to be

RAILROAD RIVALRY.
A Compromise Probable With tn
Canadian Pacific Line.

CHICAGO, October 24.-Secret nego-
tiations have been going on for the
past ten days between the transcon-
tinental roads and the Canadian Pa
cific to bring about cessation OF the
rivalry for Pacific coast business,
which has forced rates down to SO low
a point. These have progressed far
enough todemonstrate that the foreign
road is willing, provided it is allowed
ON account of its circuitous route to
charge, about 10 per cent. less on
through freight than to American
roads. There is a strong probability
that if better terms cannot be made
these will be accepted. This would
result in general advance OF freight
rates to and from Pacific coast points.

encourage timber growth on prairie
lands, alleging that no part OF the
land contained timber, when it really
did. He demurred to the Indictment
on the grounds that, under the laws

BENHAYON,S SUICIDE.
Some Sensational Developments
Expected.

SAN Francisco, October 24.-Cor-
oner Stanton held an autopsy this af-
ternoon on the body of Henry BEN
hayon, who committed suicide yester-
day, and left letter supposed to be a
confession that he was the murderer
of Mrs. DR.. Bowers. The coroner
stated that he believed the investiga-
ton made by the police will be con-
cluded tonight, and in that event an
inquest will be held tomorrow. 1t is
expected that important revelations
will be made at the inquest, and until
it is held the confession and other
documents in the possession OF the
coroner will be kept a secret.
DIVERSIFIED OPINIONS.
With reference to the suicide yester-
day of Henry Benhayon, and the let
ters left by deceased, many different
theories are advanced. The autopsy
of Benhayon's body was concluded
this evening, but the official result
will not be announced before to-mor-
row. Opinion is quite general that
Benhayon was insane. 1t is thought
by many that the letters lett by Ben
hayon are forgeries. Benhayon, Sr..
claims that his son was murdered. 1t
is probable that at the inquest to-mor-
row few definite facts will be
cleaned.
AN "ExAMINER" STATEMENT.
The Examiner tonight claims to
have information that in a letter to
the Coroner, Henry Benhayon con-
fessed that before the death of Cecilia
Bowers she was conspiring with her
brother to take the life of the doctor
and receive the insurance on his life,
which amounted to $24,500. Through
non-pavment of the assessments since
his arrest most of these policies have
been declared forfeited, but before
that event his death would have re-
allied the entire sum to Mrs. Bowers.
